1 cup uncooked couscous
1/2 cup chopped almonds, toasted
1/2 cup raisins
3 cups cooked, shredded pork roast
2 cups shredded lettuce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 pita bread pockets, split into 8 rounds
1 cup hummus
cucumber.
1. Cook couscous according to package directions. In a medium bowl, gently combine couscous, almonds, raisins, pork and lettuce.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, curry powder and lemon peel. Season with salt and pepper. Mix 1/4 cup dressing into couscous mixture.
3. To assemble wraps, lay pita rounds split side up on work surface. Spread each with 2 tablespoons hummus. Spoon approximately 1/2 cup couscous mixture down center of each pita round. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon dressing and fold in sides to wrap.
Servings: 4
Yield: 8 wraps
Notes: Optional toppings include yogurt and shredded with almost every ethnic cuisine contributing its own wrap version — from burritos to sushi to spring rolls. Wraps shops have cropped up around the country, but you don't have to eat out to enjoy the flavors of the world. Wraps are quick and healthy, and easy to make at home when using versatile, good-for-you ingredients like pork and naturally fat-free honey.
Pork, the world's most popular meat, is frequently featured in wrap recipes because it pairs so well with a broad range of seasonings and flavors. Easy-to-prepare pork roast is shredded and combined with fillings like vegetables, rice and beans. Quick sauces with the diverse flavors of Thai, Tex-Mex and Mediterranean cuisines, can be tempered with the natural sweetness of honey. Choose a tortilla, pita or lettuce leaf and you're ready to roll.
Healthful, tasty fillings wrapped into a neat, hand-held package — that's how the world wraps.
